As rain beats down and lightning flashes across the sky, a siren blares loudly in the distance. A tornado! With winds reaching 300 miles per hour, tornadoes leave trails of destruction in their paths. From Bangladesh to Tornado Alley, the wrath of the worst twisters has been felt all over the world.
"This is an appealing nonfiction series covering the earth’s natural disasters. Each describes how the disaster is ranked, categorized or recognized. The main content of the books is a focus on disasters of epic proportion. The vignettes feature photos or images depicting the event along with date, location and ranking, magnitude, or type of disaster. Each title also features a “Living with....” section providing advice, tips, and information pertaining to the realities of experiencing or being prepared for each disaster. The eye-catching photos and colorful pages provide additional appeal to an already interesting topic. Recommended." - Library Media Connection
